Remember when Teen Vogue published a how-to piece on anal sex? That was interesting. This time it’s “sex work” – just what teenage girls need to read up on.
"Continued criminalization of sex work and sex workers is a form of violence by governments and contributes to the high level of stigma and discrimination." https://t.co/Wf4rgUdb13

Is there any other 'real work' where the 'workforce' is almost entirely female, people are literally trafficked into your 'profession' and, as you get older and more experienced, your earning potential goes down? https://t.co/CNK24CviOb

Continued promotion of prostitution as sex work is a form of grooming by @TeenVogue and contributes to normalising sexual exploitation of women and girls https://t.co/FvUnXQ4syX

I am sure that many a brothel crawler has asked her ‘what’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?’ As an ‘industry’ the ‘sex industry’ does not have much going for it. Does not do much to reduce the frequency of client hypocrisy either. And the ‘workers’ are on the scrap heap long before the retirement age in other ‘industries’, with not much in the way of retirement benefits as a rule.
But make it illegal: quickest way to police corruption known.
Funny how I don’t see that argument with other things. Make taking other people’s property without permission illegal – quickest way to police corruption known. Make killing people illegal – quickest way to police corruption known. Make drunk driving illegal – quickest way to police corruption known.
Police corruption is a reality. It will be a reality as long as policemen have a lot of power over people’s lives. And the rich folks in our country have demonstrated that getting people better pay and more money doesn’t actually reduce corruption. It requires diligence and effort.
The quickest way to police corruption known? The fraternity that says policemen don’t rat out policemen.
Omar: You’re thinking of drug laws–those do contribute to police corruption, because they create a market where prices are raised to obscene levels. Prostitution laws have very little to do with police corruption in most cities, beyond the baseline police corruption that iknklast talks about, which infects any laws at all.
And of course, there’s more options than ‘send prostitutes to jail’ and ‘legalization’. The existing form of the Nordic Model isn’t perfect, yet, but it’s a far step above both of the other options.
